HASTINGS -- The Western Nebraska Community College men’s soccer team put together an impressive performance on the field Saturday afternoon as the junior college team tied Hastings College Junior Varsity, a four-year institution, 1-1.
WNCC coach Todd Rasnic was very pleased with how his team played against a talented team like Hastings.
“We possessed the ball really well and we played a good game,” he said. “We played organized. The team we played is one of the better teams we have played. They have a lot of team speed.”
Hastings scored first, scoring in the 31st minute of the first half to take a 1-0 lead on a miscommunication by the Cougars defense. WNCC came back in the second half, scoring in the 27th minute. Lazarro Torres delivered a pass to freshman Matt Hoffman for the score to knot the contest.
Each team had two shots on goal, placing one in the back of the net. WNCC goal keeper Cesar Bazana had one save.
WNCC, 6-6-1, will next be in action Tuesday as they travel to Hesston Community College for a men’s and women’s doubleheader in the Cougar’s regular season finale.
Both Cougar soccer teams will open the Region IX playoffs on Friday in Rock Springs, Wyo.
